CINDY SHEEHAN PROTEST

I don't think this story has been widely reported yet. Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq last year, is camped out in Crawford, Texas and intends to stay there for the five weeks that Bush is there on his vacation or until he will come out and explain to her what the noble cause is that her son died for. She wants to know why her son died. She wants to know what the mission is that he keeps saying we're going to stay there until it is accomplished.

Bush will not come out and meet with her. Bush will not invite her to the ranch for a discussion. The reason Bush will not meet with her, in my opinion, is because he has no answers. He cannot choreograph the meeting. Whatever is said will be reported to the the White House Press Corps and whoever else might be there to report the story. She does not want to hear the spread of freedom and democracy mantra. She wants straight up true answers. She wants to hear what all of us want to hear. THE TRUTH.

There have been some threats that if she is not gone by Thursday that she would be arrested as a security threat against the president. I don't think that will happen. That would be a huge faux pas for this administration. There is some unsubstantiated information that a bank in Crawford is going to hold some sort of festival in support of Bush, denouncing Sheehan. And the soldiers at Fort Hood would be granted leave to attend this festival.

This does not surprise me. If you approach this president without an invite you will be turned away. It is common knowledge that every speech this president gives is choreographed. You do not get in without an invite. If you have an anti-Bush button, T-shirt, etc. you will be escorted away. Cindy Sheehan is grieving her dead son and want answers as to why. I believe she represents all grieving parents, siblings and children of dead soldiers. I hope this woman can open the can of worms that should give us the answers we need about this administration. More power to her.
